I'm cracking up, my younger cousin got married recently and has entered the world of home ownership with her husband. At Christmas she was telling the story of how she asked him to go to Home Depot to get white lights for their tree.

So he went to Home Depot and got white lights, but they were the blue-white ones instead of the traditional warm-white ones. She grew up with a Martha-Stewart-Like mother (My aunt is the living embodiment of pinterest). She told him to take them back and get the proper ones, he could not, for the life of him, figure out how he got the "wrong" white lights.

So she ended up going back to Home Depot to return them, but she kept one package, then got the "right" white lights.

So she takes them home to show him the difference and he says "I actually like the white-light ones better" at which point she tried explaining color mood to him and he started watching football.

My uncle was a plumber and installed probably thousands of garbage disposals in his lifetime. He said he always recommended to customers that they install the switch under the cabinet to make it next to impossible to turn on the disposal with your hand in the sink.

It sounds trivial, but when he first started out in the business that wisdom was passed down by his boss who saw the aftermath of a woman who had her hand down the drain trying to pull something out and absentmindedly started the disposal.
